Bainbridge Cinemas to screen noir classic
Published 8:29 am Wednesday, July 1, 2015
Hollywood legend Billy Wilder set the noir bar pretty high with the low deeds of Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in the classic crime flick “Double Indemnity” (1944).
In the film, MacMurray is an insurance representative who lets himself get talked into a murder and insurance fraud scheme by an equally sultry and greedy housewife (Stanwyck), which inevitably arouses the suspicions of an insurance investigator (Edward G. Robinson).
The movie was immediately praised by critics and eventually nominated for seven Academy Awards and — though it did not win any — was, in 1998, ranked No. 38 on the American Film Institute’s list of the “100 best American films of the 20th Century.”
Double Indemnity will screen twice as part of a two-day-only special event partnership with Turner Classic Movies at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 19 and at 7 p.m. Monday, July 20.
Tickets are $8.50 for the Sunday screening and $10.50 for the Monday show.
